KILRAIN CORNERED.
He Has Chance to Fight Killcn Be
fore Meering sullivan.

He Has a Chance to Fig hat Killcn Be-
fore Meeting sullivan.
Chicago Sporting journal.
If Kilrain is able to make a good fight
with Sullivan. there is no way in the world
in which he can better demonstrate the fact,
and force the latter into meeting, than by
meeting Killen. Some weeks ago. before he
went East. Sheedy openly admitted that he
believed the Duluth man could whip any
other on earth, always excepting the cham
piOn. 1t therefore stands to reason, that by
defeating Killen, and upsetting Sheedy's
theory, he would be able to challenge Sulli-
van with perfect confidence that he had a
better right than any other to do so. But
for reasons best known to himself, the BOs-
tonian does not court. and in fact shows lit
tie disposition to be wOoed into a fight with
Killen. Despite tie fact that correspond
ence passed some time ago, and that an offer
of a fight for good money was telegraphed
only few days since, Kilrain has been as
dumb as an oyster There appears to be
but one reason, and that is fear of defeat,
and if Klrain is afraid of Kilen, he must
surely know that he would stand little show
with Sullivan. Looking at the matter in
this light. any one may be excused for think
ing that his recent utterances have been
made for the sake of nolorety, and not
with the idea that fight would result. His
reputation, it is true, is not such as would
lead one to believe this for he has hereto
tore met all Corners without a nurmur, but
in this case appearances are against him.

beyond the expectations of the gentlemen
who drafted the new code, and at the same
time the fielding is sharp and the games are
not lepptheped to any appreciable extent.
The new regulation about the substitution OF
the second ball whenever the sphere Is batted
foul and out Of reach Will save mucn time IN
championship contests. as 1t does already In
practice games. I noted that the game be-
tween the Butfalos and Washingtons on Tues
day last occupied but one hour and twenty
seven minutes, though the batting was Tree.
As YET i have not seen single undesirable
development in the application OF the revised
rules. and in my opinion their popularity
will increase with the advance of the season.
The season has opened well. Mulvey. of
the Phiadelphias, has sprained ankle; Gill
len, of the Detroits. broken wrist; Gore, or
the New Yorks a lame shoulder; Pike, OF the
Savannahs, broken arm; conway, or the
Detroits, a lame back; Wheelock, OF the BIOS
tons, a sprained wrist; Deasley, OF the new
Yorks, split finger; Flynn, OF the Chlcagos,
lame arm: Caruthers, of ''der Prowns. a
split finger, and Dunlap, of the Detroits a
swelled head.-EX.
Several clubs can gain point by Following
the Chicagos in the practice the latter are
giving their pitchers. 1t is said by competent
judges who saw the Chicagos play at Memphis,
that their pitchers watched base runners
like hawks. II is hard thing to throw 10
bases under the new pitching rules, but the
Chicagos are doing their best to learn how.
Arson is continually coaching them and in
everything the players do his master hand is
seen.-Pittsburgh Elk.
The Detroits in their practice at Macon,
learned a fact about batting under the new
rules. They say that if q player holds his
bat in the usual position to strike at a low
ball, he cannot raise it in time to hit a high
ball; but, on the other hand. if he holds the
bat in the position to hit Il high ball, it is easy
enough to come down on low one.
An Indianapolis man offers to wager 500
against $50 that he can name the League
winner, he to name two clubs. of which Chi
cago shall not be one.
Each Northwestern league umpire will be
assigned to town for two weeks at a time,
and each shall be required to wear blue cap
and pair of ball shoes.

Cardiff Roasted

Brownie Wallace, of Minneapolis, writes
the Chicago Sporting Journal concerning
Cardiff:
He has been doing business on the hollow
reputation gained in these two contests and
its the fear of losing it that keeps him
from meeting Killen. Bah! he makes
me weary; he is afraid of Killen and
his every action and word proves it. He
speaks sightingly of Killen, saying his record
is almost unknown, etc. Well, we'll leave
that to the public, yet think I am safe in as
serting that Cardiff will never own such a
reputation as Killen holds to-day, and killen
amt through yet. If Cardiff can stay ten
rounds with Pat Killen within thirty days he
can have all the gate money, and we will bet
him all the money he can raise on the side.
AS Cardiff's day is about over in the North
west, have recommended him to an Eastern

Trouble over the New Rules,

New YORK, April 23.-It was rumored
i'll base ball circles tonight that lively
correspondence was being carried on be-
tween the managers of the League and the
Association about the new base bali rules.
Many of the changes have not met with
favor, and most of the base ball rulers
hold that partial change from
the present code would be desirable.
1t is thought that the rule crediting bat
ter with base hit when he is sent to first on
balls will be the first one to be abolished.
1t is also thought that the number OF strikes
will be reduced to three. A further inter-
change of PLAYERS between the Nets and
Cleveland will occur in few days. Ryan,
pitcher, and Sommer, catcher of the Nets,
will be given to Cleveland in exchange for
the veteran catcher Snyder.

In this world of invention there seems to be
nothing impossible. There is scarcely day
that we do not read of some patent issued by
the government that is worthy of special
mention and that attracts the attention of the
entire population of the world Among the
most useful and successful inventions of
modern times Is the telegraph and telephone.
Just who the original inventor of the latter
is, is not definitely known. Alexander Bell
of Bostan, Mass, and Daniel Drawbaugh, of
Harrisburg, Pa, both claim to be the first to
invent and use the telephone as means Of
transmitting sounds. The courts have
been trying to find out for the LAST
six years, and millions of dollars
have been spent in the law suits
now pending. Thousands of pages of testi-
mony have been printed and yet no concu-
sion arrived at Both parties are sanguine
of success. The telegraph is of more ancient
origin, dating back for nearly two centuries
Telegraphic communication was not applied
to any useful purpose until about 1894, when

first valuable telegraph invented was that Of
the now renowned Prof. Samuel F. B. Morse.
Congress came TO his assistance and appro-
priated $50, 900 to test the invention, and
a line was built from Washington to Bal
timore. The first public message sent
over that line was the announcement of
Folks nomination, May 90, 1874. 1t is not
necessary to say it has proven a success, for
to-day almost the entire globe is spanned by
the telegraph wire, and messages are sent
from one continent to the other in less time
than it takes to write them. To manipulate
the Geographic instrument requires thousands
of skillful men and women. Among the

Truths in Everyday English, Usus
ally Told in Technical Tongue.
When catarrh has existed in the head and
the upper part of the throat for any length
of time-the patient living in a district where
people are subject to catarrhal affection-and
the disease has been left uncured, the catarrh
invariably sometimes slowly, sometimes
more rapidly-extends down the windpipe
and into the bronchial tubes, which tubes con-
vey the air to the different parts of
the lungs. The tubes become obs
structed from the swelling and the
mucus arising from catarrh, and in such
instances become plugged up so that the air
cannot get in as freely as it should. Shortness
of breath follows, and the patient breatheS
with labor and difficulty. In other cases q
sound of cracking and wheeling inside the
chest is due to the bursting of air bubbles in
the mucus in the bronchial tubes. At this
stage of the disease the breathing is usu-
ally more rapid than when in health The
patient at this stage may have hot flashes
over his body. The pain which accompanies
this condition is of a dull character, felt in
the chest, back of the breast bone, or under
the shoulder blade. The pain may come an d
go-last few days and then be absent for
several others. The cough that occurs in the
first stages of bronchial catarrh is dry, comes
on at intervals is hacking in character and
usually the most troublesome in the morning
on arising, or on going to bed at night,
disease extending into the lungs. At
first there may be nothing brought up with
the cough, then there is a little tough, tena-
ciouS mucus, which the patient finds great
difficulty in bringing up. Sometimes there
are fits of coughing induced by the tough
mucus so violent are to cause vomiting. Later
on the mucus that is raised is found to con-
tain small particles of yellow matter, which
indicate that the small tubes in the lungs are
now affected. With this there are often
streaks of blood mixed with the mucus. In
some cases the patient becomes very pale. In
some cases small masses OF a cheesy SUBJ
stance are spit up, which, when pressed be-
tween the fingers, emit a bad odor. In other
cases particles of hard, chalky nature are
spit up, showing that some old trouble has
existed prior to this condition. The raising
of cheesy or chalky Jumps indicate serious
mischief at work in the lungs. In some cases
catarrh will extend into the lungs in q few
weeks In other eases it may be months, and
even years, before the disease attacks the
lungs. When the disease is developed to this
point the patient is said to have catarrhal
consumption.

Prettiest Fall of the Match.
Special to the Globe.
SIOUX FALLS, April 23.-The collar and
elbow wrestling match between Col. Nc
Laughlin, of Minneapolis, and j. c. Com
stock, of New York, took place at the op-
era house here tonight. The crowd was
small as hippodrome had been generally
suspected, but before the match
was ended, all were satisfied that
it was for blood. A. Butler, of st. Paul,
was master of ceremonies, and E. j.
Daniels, of Sioux Falls, referee. The
match was best three in five. collar and
elbow. Col. Mclaughlin was in good
weight, 22O pounds. Comstock'S weight
was 22O. The first round was won by Nc
Laughlln in eight minutes by hip lock
action, throwing Comstock on the four
points. The fall showed Mclaughlin
had strength and Comstock activity. The
second bout was the most brilliant Of the
four, being won by COmStock in three sec
onds. The fall was trip and twitch and
called forth great applause. The next turn
was completed in seventeen minutes and
was the longest contested. 1t was won by
Mclaughlin by right trip and twitch.
The fourth was won by Mclaughlin i'll
six minutes. Considerable dissatisfaction
was expressed by Comstock at the decision
of the referee in this bout. and cries Of No
fall' came from the audience. The general
opinion is that Mclaughlin won the match
fairly. The match was for $3.50 side and
door receipts. At the conclusion

the morning broke clear and the grounds
were found in splendid condition, it was de-
cided to 60 on with the second game be-
tween Detroit and Minneapolis. Three or
four hundred persons sat in the stand and
wheeZed and Shiyered for an hour before
they were released. At the end of five inn
ings it became so cold the players gave it up
and sought hot stoves for their benumbed
fingers. 1t was really remarkable that in
such weather only one error was made, and
that a tumble of a foul fly by Murray. 1t
seemed, however. that the intield avoided
chances, and made safe hits of what on a
warm day might have been outs. Minneapolis
put Winkleman in to pitch and Detroit took
kindly to his slow curves, though the heav-
lest batting was done in the first inning
after the side should have been retired.
knowlton again occupied the points for
Detroit and was hit hard, but majority of
the hits were flies and straight intield
drives. Winkleman was somewhat wild
in his delivery. but the cold was largely re-
sponsible for that. Minneapolis opened the
game and Halves, AIeister and Foster each
went out Oh long fly to the outtield. For
Detroit, Richardson hit cracker into
Winkleman's hands and died at first; Rowe
was hit with the ball ard got first, while
hit by BroutherS and five balls to Thomp-
son nlled the bases. Dunlap's single brought
in two runs. Mester captured TwtchelIs
high fly, and Murray should have held Han
Ions foul, ending the inning; but the De-
troit captain hit for two BASES, bringing in
two runs. Cancels hit sent Hanlon across
the plate, but the former. after stealing sec
ond. was caught mapping, and thrown out
by Winkleman. In the second inning,
with one man out, Peak raped the ball
for two bases. and scored on Ganzel's
double-bagger. Camel, by inattention,
was neatly doubled up at second when Han
Ion caught Winkleman'S long fly. Both
sides went out in one, two, three order
until the fourth inning, when hit by Gan
gel, a single by Richardson, and base on
balls to Rowe yielded Detroit another score.
Both sides were BANKED in the fifth inning.

Tom Hughes, of that city. desires to match
Joe Ridge against the winner of the War

has a good record as wrestler as well as a

Danforth at st. Paul, Minneapolis or Pitts
burg. Warren was shown the letter yester-
day, and said:
All Mr.. Hughes needs to do is to post for
felt with the GLOBE to show that he means
business. If he does this, I will meet Ridge,
provided he scales under 12G pounds. I will
